The moment the league has been waiting for has arrived… Kevin Durant makes his debut as a Phoenix Sun, and already he is showing how well he fits in with the team. So the next question - can the Suns make it the year they win the Larry O’Brien trophy and bring a championship home to Phoenix?

Meanwhile the Lakers finally move Westbrook, in a three-team deal with the Jazz and Timberwolves, shaking up the season for all three teams. On top of all that, LeBron James breaks the all-time scoring record, a once in a lifetime achievement that we may never see again.
